My little cousins bad habit????????

Question

My little cousin is now 8 years old and i am taking care of him till his mom can do so.I have baby sat for him for a long time probably since he was born.Anyway he has a habit of rubbing or massaging my butt when he was little it was funny but know at 8 its not especially when he does this in public.He is a shy kid and i think its a strange security thing.

It can be as little as putting his hand in my back pocket and then almost groping.

I have spoken to him to no avail.

Answer 1

Replace your bottom with something else for security reasons. Try getting him some kind of soft toy to carry with him and when he is feeling insecure he can rub that. DO NOT reprimand him for it, and DO NOT laugh at his behavior. You have to make a habit out of removing his hand and gently telling him that is inappropriate behavior, stick to the same thing no matter where you are. Good Luck!! By the way bravo for stepping up to take care of him.

Answer 2

Thats not so undesirable it could desire to be someplace else. i'm hoping this doesnt make you bypass off? It wont effct his the teeth or improve he will maximum definately advance out of it. quickly he would be ingesting too speedy and then issue solved on occasion little issues bypass away once you dont carry them up Its not life threatning and it won't mess him up later

Answer 3

Tell him that touching you makes you feel unhappy, but holding your hand makes you really happy. If he doesn't listen, tell his mom to talk to him and she'll them him that a butt is a private area just like his pee pee and shouldn't be touch except to wipe..

Answer 4

8 years old. Just tell him no

Answer 5

Do you reinforce his behavior? Do you laugh when he does it? You just need to sit him down and let him know that it's unacceptable. Whatever you do, don't yell at him.
